Reading 2 and//usccb.org/bible/hebrews/5and1 HEB 5and1-6 Brothers and sistersandEvery high priest is taken from among menand made their representative before God,to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.He is able to deal patiently with the ignorant and erring,for he himself is beset by weaknessand so, for this reason, must make sin offerings for himselfas well as for the people.No one takes this honor upon himselfbut only when called by God,just as Aaron was.In the same way,it was not Christ who glorified himself in becoming high priest,but rather the one who said to himandYou are my sonandthis day I have begotten youjust as he says in another placeandYou are a priest foreveraccording to the order of Melchizedek.

Gospel and//usccb.org/bible/mark/10:46 MK 10:46-52 As Jesus was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a sizable crowd,Bartimaeus, a blind man, the son of Timaeus,sat by the roadside begging.On hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth,he began to cry out and say, Jesus, son of David, have pity on me. And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent.But he kept calling out all the more, Son of David, have pity on me. Jesus stopped and said, Call him. So they called the blind man, saying to him, Take courage get up, Jesus is calling you. He threw aside his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus.Jesus said to him in reply, What do you want me to do for you? The blind man replied to him, Master, I want to see. Jesus told him, Go your way your faith has saved you. Immediately he received his sightand followed him on the way.
